Abstract
Advances in minimally invasive surgery have made possible a laparoscopic ap proach for several retroperitoneal pathologies. Many studies have shown tha t laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the new gold standard of care particularly for benign lesions. The most serious endoscopic technical problem is the bl eeding control. We suggest the use of fibrin sealant during lateral transpe ritoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy could improve hemostasis and postoperat ive morbidity.
